HERNDON, VA, October 23, 2018 – Michael Romano, a veteran of building high-performing sales teams and delivering revenue from growth focused on meeting clients’ needs, has joined Avenu Insights & Analytics (Avenu). Avenu is a portfolio company of Mill Point Capital.
Romano will lead sales for the company’s revenue enhancement and administration divisions. This responsibility covers multiple product lines for state and local governments in all 50 states and Canada.
“Mike’s experience, enthusiasm and capabilities are just what Avenu needs to build on our recent accomplishments and increase our presence and partnerships with state and local governments,” says Avenu CEO Paul Colangelo.
Romano was most recently the vice president of U.S. government and healthcare vertical sales for Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise, a global provider of data, voice and wireless solutions with operations in more than 80 countries. Prior to that he served as vice president of U.S. cloud sales for Genesys, one of the largest contact center providers in the world with operations in over 100 countries.
